Bug Description

App icons (other than selected lens) should be desaturated/dimmed/blurred when in Dash.

e.g. when in the App Lens, all other launcher icons should be desaturated.

Experiment with dimming the launcher when the dash is open to focus the user's attention. This dimming must be done in such a way that it does not detract from the launcher being perceived as a active drag and drop target.

Visual design now signed off, see https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/dash/

Specifically note https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/dash/Dash_desktop/unity_desktop_dashboard_21_02_11_stages_fixed_08.png that shows the colour saturation re-appearing as the user moves their cursor towards the Launcher.
